Seoul: President Lee Jae Myung on Monday called for broad structural reforms to ensure gender equality. In a Facebook post marking the country's 30th Gender Equality Week, which runs until Sunday, Lee emphasized that structural discrimination still persists in many areas despite efforts to achieve gender equality.

According to Yonhap News Agency, Lee stated, "We must boldly reform unreasonable systems in line with the nation's stature and work to correct misconceptions." He further asserted that a better world can be built through mutual respect and embracing each other, rather than resorting to hate and discrimination.

Under the Framework Act on Gender Equality, the government designates one week each year as Gender Equality Week. During this period, various campaigns and programs are conducted to raise public awareness about gender equality issues.
